Hi all,
I often get asked how many engines, specifically modern direct
injection engines, I know of, that have gone more than the magic number

True.
Also true for SVO.
biodiesel/SVO owners can add these if they wish to reduce emissions
even further.
...just don't run any North American diesel in it if so fitted!!
You could also conceivably add particle traps, since the particulate
emissions are usually reduced 30-50%.
